The article was deleted, and at least one ex-admin is
rather vociferously
stating that it was due to BLP concerns, such as, "Consensus does not govern
Biographies of living
persons<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_per…
However, doesn't the decision *if* something violates BLP subject to
consensus? Without getting into the specific merits of THIS article, as this
also relates to the current Badlydrawnjeff ArbCom about the QZ/Little Fatty
BLP issue:
While consensus may govern the decision of whether or not something
violates BLP, consensus is not the same as majority. The admin should
look at the reasons given. If the reasons are compatible with policy,
then fair enough, otherwise they can and should be ignored and the
article deleted anyway. If the reasons basically boil down to
disagreeing with the policy than they should be ignored and told to go
and debate the policy in the usual fashion. The consensus that
determined the policy takes precedence over the consensus on a single
article since (generally speaking) more people were involved in the
former.
